Chris Hayes took some time in his Wednesday show, All In With Chris Hayes, to describe the “spirited resistance” of the protesters of the new first responder training facility (known to its protesters as “Cop City”) just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and to condemn the state and city legislators who had authorized its building. Hayes then went on to provide his own opinion on why the training facility was not “the wisest use of Atlanta’s taxpayer dollars,” of course, downplaying the violence from leftist extremists.
The segment began with Hayes’s description of when “a SWAT team descended on a quiet, residential street” and “raided a house” there to arrest three members of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund. This organization was raising money for “a bail fund” to pay for violent activists to be released from prison after being arrested at riots against the facility.
